“The process of making a film is an essential step in the creation of a fine work of art…”
Amid the applause and loud cheers from the people around him, Leon smiled and said, "Every movie we see on the screen is the result of the hard work of countless staff members behind the scenes."
As Leon spoke, the applause died down. Carlo on the second floor breathed a sigh of relief and said to the person on the other end of the phone:
"'God's Redemption' has been shortlisted and nominated. We can now contact the media and cooperate with the publicity plan we prepared earlier."
On the stage, Leon continued:
"We have seen excellent performers tonight, the outstanding post-production of the film, and many behind-the-scenes staff. Now we should return to the theme of tonight - the film."
He paused for a moment, raised his head, and scanned the venue:
"Next up are the Best Picture nominees."
“God on Earth…”
Movie scenes appeared on the big screen. Carlo was holding his mobile phone, and he was still upset because "Salvation of God" was nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award at the 100 Years Filmmaker Awards.
This time, "God's Redemption" was successfully nominated for five awards, which was a pleasant surprise for the investors. Carlo held the phone:
"It is important to mention that "God's Redemption" was nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award at the 100 Years of Filmmaking Awards."
"Dying Wish..."
Carlo's attention is not on the big screen. Two films have been nominated for the '100 Years of Filmmakers' Best Film Award. "Salvation of God" was previously nominated, which has further increased his popularity around the world. Even because the nomination is an important award, it has already exceeded the original investors' psychological expectations.
As for who will be shortlisted for the heavyweight award of "Filmmaker of the Century", Carlo no longer cares.
In the meeting room, Jiang Se turned to look at Cesare. Cesare, who had looked calm before, no longer looked relaxed. He clenched his fists on his thighs, his whole body was tense, his upper body leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the screen, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the final prize.
However, the third nominated film has already appeared on the screen. It will be extremely difficult for the remaining two spots to stand out from the 28 films that have advanced this time.
"The joint media list has been drawn up, and the news of the nominations for the Best Visual Effects Award for the 'Filmmakers of the Century' will be released as soon as possible..."
The staff on the other end of the phone was reporting the work content to Carlo, and the next moment Carlo heard vaguely:
“God’s Redemption…”
Amid the music, Carlo subconsciously looked up and met the gaze of the middle-aged man next to him. He was still a little incredulous.
On the screen, the scene of the final battle in "God's Redemption" appeared, but it was switched after a few seconds.
Amid the fast-paced music, Carlo almost forgot that he was still on the phone with someone. He didn't expect that after being nominated for Best Visual Effects, "Salvation" would be nominated for Best Picture!
The person on the other end of the phone obviously also learned the news at the first time and also did not speak.
In the venue, many people subconsciously held their breath, watching Leon on the stage unraveling the mystery in his hands.
The fact that "God's Redemption" was nominated for the Best Film award surprised all the Chinese media at the venue!
Tao Tao is not a member of the "Centennial Filmmakers" and was not fortunate enough to enter the sacred auditorium in advance to watch the film "God's Redemption" in the first half month of this selection activity.
But at this moment, after "God's Redemption" was nominated for Best Picture, she remembered the film review written by Shu Payne for the film on the Internet.
That heartfelt praise does not come from blindly flattering the "idol". Shu Payen's status in the film industry is also well-known.
If the film review of "God's Redemption" written by Shu Peien on the Internet is true, then this time "God's Redemption" is nominated for the best film of the "Filmmakers of the Century". Does it mean that this film is also eligible to compete for the final award
If "God's Redemption" can win the trophy for Best Film, Jiang Se's name will be engraved as the leading actor in the classic film wall of "A Century of Filmmakers"!
Tao Tao was so excited just thinking about this. She watched Leon pick up the golden envelope and slowly open it.
At this time, both those in the Sacred Auditorium and the audience around the world who were watching the live broadcast had a similar mentality to Tao Tao. They wanted to replace Lyon and immediately announce the final list of winners.
Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and Tao Tao felt cold sweat on her palms and back. She was so nervous that she even had tinnitus, and the accelerated blood flow made her mouth dry.
She took several deep breaths, but her heartbeat did not slow down. Instead, it was even faster than before.
Leon had already opened the envelope, looked down, and when he looked up, he smiled at the audience in the venue and said with a smile:
"'God's Redemption', congratulations!"
"Ah..." Tao Tao couldn't help but scream. She originally thought that her scream would definitely cause surprise among the people around her. She was ready to be laughed at and despised.
However, there were many people screaming like her. Reporters from several major domestic media who were invited to attend the "Centennial Filmmakers" were all screaming. Tao Tao's shouts were drowned out by applause and cheers.
Shu Payne, who was sitting on the chair, almost seemed to lose his composure. He stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.
The camera in the venue was pointed in the direction of the "God's Redemption" crew. Jiang Se bit her lip and stood up holding up her skirt. After hugging Cesare, Donald turned around and gently hugged her. His joy was self-evident.
Cesare warmly hugged Jiang Se into his arms. This scene was of great significance to him. From being a world-class director, he joined the ranks of even higher-level directors with "God's Redemption", a classic work recognized by the century-old art history of world cinema.
"Jiang, we succeeded!"
The audience and guests all stood up and applauded them. In the VIP room, Carlo's cell phone had fallen to the ground, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
In China, all the audiences and movie fans who were watching this scene could not believe their eyes.
In the office of Long Xing Studio, Su Min and others screamed:
"Jiang Se's "God's Redemption" won the Best Film of the 100 Years Filmmaker Award!" (To be continued)
